Hi there!
(Because this question has been posted before, I will . be posting my previous response to it here.)
In the case of Bush v. Gore, the Supreme Court ruled that the vote recount in Florida was unconstitutional because it violated voters equal protection under the law. The justices also found the Florida Supreme Court's ruling to be unconstitutional, deeming that the court was making up new election laws; a power that belongs to the legislature. The reason the recount was considered a violation of the equal protection of the laws was because it was determined that "arbitrary and disparate" treatment of voters ballots after the fact devalued the votes.
Answer:
Ultimately it is the people who have the political power
Explanation:
Popular sovereignty is government based on consent of the people. The government’s source of authority is the people, and its power is not legitimate if it disregards the will of the people. Government established by free choice of the people is expected to serve the people, who have sovereignty, or supreme power.
There are four ways that popular sovereignty is expressed in a democracy.
First, the people are involved either directly or through their representatives in the making of a constitution.
Second, the constitution made in the name of the people is ratified by a majority vote of the people or by representatives elected by the people.
Third, the people are involved directly or indirectly in proposing and ratifying amendments to their constitution.
Fourth, the people indicate support for their government when they vote in public elections, uphold the constitution and basic principles of their government, and work to influence public policy decisions and otherwise prompt their representatives in government to be accountable to them
